Does this work on any of dish satellites

Yes, as far as I know. We didn't have a special setup or anything. You can also ask Dish to be certain.

Can this receiver play back Dish recordings from an external hard drive without being connected to the Dish network?

you can but you need a hard drive and pay a fee to activate had drive. no hard drive no recording.

Hey guys ... are you sure you don't mean there is a 1 TB limit to the DVR? That's 1,000 GB and is the same as the 211K. You can't save HD to 1 GB.

OWNER OF ORIGINAL 4000 MODELS, 5000 AND 625. NOW USE 211K TAILGATOR with HDMI AND VIDEO, LEFT/RIGHT AUDIO OUTS. NEWER 211 IS NON-VIDEO OUTS. I NEED TO COPY TO MY PANASONIC SD RECORDER. NOW...LISTEN UP...AFTER NOT MUCH INSTRUCTIONS IN USE OF AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVES, YOU CAN USE A 2TB hard drive besides a 1TB....here is the difference...NONE! But you have to pay attention to just ONE THING. I found that the limitation is not in Quality, but Quanity of recordings....Not the size of memory, but the NUMBER OF RECORDINGS! YES, DISH LIMITS RECORDINGS TO 1000 (events) ON any size Hard Drive. Any thing over 1000 will not record. You need to delete recordings you don't want to keep to record new ones, regaurdless of HARD DRIVE SIZE. I like WD drives, but they don't have nor tell you the model of the acceptable drives the receivers can use. Also have a brother that uses 722's and can't re-establish older drives with new/refurbished receivers he's pissed. But, I think it time for him and I go to the Hopper for home unit, but I'll keep my Tailgator as long as they support it, to recev my programing locally and remotely....somewhere in the remote areas of New Mexico or Colirado...love my van/Tent and portable systems, including a honda generator to power my campsite... roughing it! Remember, its number of events on either size drive limited to 1000, but not size (sorta) of recordings, which are (approx.) In SD and HD. They are Shown in the top bar of events recorded. It varies...HD is approx 45mins to 1hr for every hr left indicadted. 1hr HD is equivlent to 85-92 mins SD. Just to let you know, incase you are litterally out of time! Good luck. Now go check your events numbers, and see if you are STUCK! IF YOU ARE, TIME TO GET RIDE OF THOSE "FRIENDS" recordings...they SUCK (LAME) ANYWAYS! BY THE WAY, USE YOUR RECORDING CONSTRICTIONS TO HELP YOU GET RID OF OLD, UNLOCKED RECORDINGS ON EACH TITLES. PLEASE READ AND GATHER INFO FROM YOUR DIRECTIONS AND TIPS ON DISH ON-LINE. HAPPY RV-ING.
